“Benefactor Tang, our luck is really good. We just arrived here and have hunted and killed so many 2nd Class fierce beasts. I think it’s already sufficient. Then, shall we return?” Dao Master Ziyi went in front of Tang Xiu as he wiped off a trace of bloodstain on the corner of his mouth, asking with a smile.
Tang Xiu asked, “Aren’t you still looking for precious ores?”
Dao Master Ziyi said with a wry smile, “If we want to find precious ores, we need to enter the depths of the island. Benefactor Tang doesn’t fear to encounter danger on the island?”
“This…”
Tang Xiu stared blankly for a moment before he gave up his intention to look for precious ores. Although catching a tiger cub, one must enter a tiger den. But if one had known perfectly well that it would only lead to his death and was still impatient to get it, then, he was either not sane in the brain or sleepwalking. And Tang Xiu neither had brain damage nor was he sleepwalking, he would not bite more than he could chew and do something out of his capabilities.
At least… he would not do it now!
After having been silent for a moment Tang Xiu said seriously, “Such being the case, then let’s go home. We’ll load these 24 White Alligators onto the ship first!”
Although Miao Wentang had minor injuries, but he was still in deep excitement. Upon hearing Tang Xiu and Dao Master Ziyi’s words, he hastily said, “Going home like this? Although we have hunted and killed 24 fierce beasts, but we have just arrived. It would be quite a waste if we go back now. I just talked with Brother Shao, if we stay for a few more days and look for fierce beasts again, we can kill more.”
Dao Master Ziyi shook his head and said, “Encountering this White Alligator group is our luck. This Evil Dragon Sea Area might have other fierce beasts, but the population is not that many. This group of White Alligators are territorial strong fierce beasts, I think they would not tolerate other fierce beasts living here. If this Poor Daoist’s inference is correct, other fierce beasts in these waters might have been killed or driven away by this White Alligator group.”
“This…” Miao Wentang was speechless.
If it were Tang Xiu who said it, perhaps he could refute a bit, since Tang Xiu was after all, too young and had too little experience. But Dao Master Ziyi was older than him and he had experienced a lot of things. Regardless of experience or character, he was someone that he respected.
Shao Mingzhen said with a laugh, “Since Dao Master Ziyi has said so, then let’s go back! There are 24 2nd Class fierce beasts, so it would be 6 for each one of us. That’s satisfying enough.”
Miao Wentang was somewhat unwilling as he said, “But we have yet to get the precious ores. Wasn’t Dao Master Ziyi the one that said that there are precious ores on the island nearby.”
Dao Master Ziyi replied, “They indeed have it. But Benefactor Tang predicts an ominous existence on these three islands! So, rather than disbelieving it, I chose to believe his words. We must not be greedy and become a greedy man who’s never content because of greediness.”
“Then, let’s go back!”
